@PBandJ love the clean look! I'm also upset Life behind the Wheel left trucking but wish him all the best

The 13-liter Volvo D13 engine with 368 kW and 2508 Nm of torque was quite struggling with 66 t of pet food in British Columbia (I play with my own length and weight laws and with my own speed limits). The exhaust brake @ 2200 rpm of this tiny engine was barely enough to hold the vehicle back on steep downhill grades.

I wish we could get these as a Super B-Double in real life with 2 × 40' = 80' = 24.4 m cargo length (= two 40' ISO/shipping containers). In the screenshots you see a regular B-Double with a 28' and a 53' trailer combined. Both trailers have steerable rear axles and liftable front axles for driving them solo or lightly loaded.
As a Super B-Double you could combine two 40' semi-trailers (with an exposable fifth wheel) into one truck and save a lot of fuel and vehicles. For hauling ISO/shipping containers loaded up to their maximum capacity (~30 t), you would need a GCW of 90 t, with lighter bodies you could probably get away with a GCW of around 80 t.

@xDope Yes I miss his trucking videos. He just had a different perspective and showed different things. Any how, hopefully it works out for him.

It ain't much but it's honest work.
